If the foolish, call them "flowers"

by Emily Dickinson

If the foolish, call them "flowers" --

Need the wiser, tell?

If the Savants "Classify" them

It is just as well!

Those who read the "Revelations"

Must not criticize

Those who read the same Edition --

With beclouded Eyes!

Could we stand with that Old "Moses" --

"Canaan" denied --

Scan like him, the stately landscape

On the other side --

Doubtless, we should deem superfluous

Many Sciences,

Not pursued by learned Angels

In scholastic skies!

Low amid that glad Belles lettres

Grant that we may stand,

Stars, amid profound Galaxies --

At that grand "Right hand"!
